JERUSALEM, (JTA) �
Israel has ordered its na-
tionally-owned airline, El
Al, to resume flights to and
from London.
The order, rescinding previous
instructions suspending London
flights by El Al, followed the can-
cellation of a request by the Bri-
tish Government which had de-
manded that El Al fly the convicted
espionage agent, Dr. Robert A.
Soblen, to the United States.
An El Al spokesman here said:
"We are no longer a party to the
Soblen affair and are not unhappy
about the situation."
(In New 'York, A.M. Sonnebend,
president of the American Jewish
Committee, issued a statement say-
ing: "The American Jewish Com-
mittee believes that the cause of
justice would best be served by the
prompt return of Dr. Robert Soblen
to the United States.
"We therefore support our State
Department's efforts to facilitate
his return and commend the efforts
that have been made by American
Jewish leaders in asking the Israeli
Government to take steps which
would complete Dr.Soblen's journey
to the United States.")
Israel's part and actions in the
Soblen affair were reviewed here
by a spokesman for the Foreign
Ministry. "The procedures now
initiated in Britain, "the statement
declared, "indicates the correct-

Israel Bonds Maps
Holy Days Campaign
In an unprecedented display of unity for the State
of Israel, 89 Greater Boston temples and synagogues
have already enrolled in the Israel Bond High Holy
Day program, it was announcedby Lawrence G. Laskey,
general chairman, State of Israel Bonds.
The enrollment marks the single-
ness of purpose of these Congrega-
tions, which will participate in the
effort to help strengthen Israel's
security by conducting Bond appeals
during Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kip-
pur. Enrollment of additional con-
gregations is expected to follow later
this month.
The High Holy Day effort this year
is dedicated to the launching of
Israel's great program of reclama-
tion of the Negev, the vast desert
covering more than half the entire
area of Israel, which mustbedevel-
oped if Israel is to continue to'
progress. This is the heartland of
Israel that will be the barometer
of Israel's future progress; the
keystone of Israel's "inner growth."
During Rosh Hashonah and Yom
Kippur, worshippers in Greater
Boston congregations will be asked
to pledge to purchase even greater
amounts of Israel Bonds, because
of the significance of the Negev
development plan�one of the great-
est reclamation tasks of the twen-
tieth century.
With the northern half of Israel
already on its way toward economic
self-sufficiency, Israel government
leaders realize that the Jewish State
cannot prosper unless the southern
half of the country, the Negev region,
is developed on a large scale.
"The fact that the year 5723"will
witness the redemption of the first
Israel Bonds represents welcome
proof of the fruitful results of our

British Crack Down On
Neo-Nazi Headquarters
The British Government has cracked down on the
activities of native Fascists here.
In a series of moves, the head-
quarters of Colin Jordan's National
Socialist movement was raided, and
the homes of individual British Nazi
and Fascist leaders were searched.
It was the first time such action
has been taken since the start of
this summer's intensification of
racist and anti-Jewish activities,
resulting in a series of riotous
rallies held both by Jordan's group
and the fascist British Union, led
by Sir Oswald Mosley.____________

Marking the tenth anniversary of
the execution of 24 leading Jewish
writers and intellectuals, the state-
ment called for "rehabilitation of
the victims* names and works and
restoration to Soviet Jewry of its
full rights to its own cultural life.
Those killed included the famous
Yiddish writers David Bergelson,
Peretz Markish and Itzik Feffer.
Previously, Shlomo Mikhoels, head
of the prewar Yiddish State Theatre
in Moscow, and chairman of the
Soviet-sponsored Jewish Anti-Fas-
cist Committee, had been assassin-
ated.
Recalling the executions, impri-

statement declared that the anti-
Jewish persecutions "coincided with
the physical liquidation of all Je-
wish cultural institutions, a process
of cultural obliteration to which no
other minority in the USSR had been
subjected."
"Under Premier Khrushchev,"
the statement continued, "the policy
of cultural extinction remains es-
sentially unaltered. There is no
school, nor even a classroom where

U.S. Jewry Told Of Greater

JERUSALEM, (JTA) � Jewish communities in the

This request was voiced by
